The SH-synthesis of chromium nitrides and ferrochromium nitrides was performed. Regular patterns in layer-by-layer and surface modes of Cr combustion in nitrogen were investigated. The mechanism of non-stationary combustion during the synthesis of chromium was investigated. Regular patterns of chromium and ferrochromium combustion in the cocurrent filtration mode were analyzed, and the possibility to intensify the SHS process using the pressure filtration principle was assessed. The process of chromium powder combustion in the cocurrent flow of nitrogen-containing gas in the range of specific flow rates from 20 cm3/s·cm2 was investigated. Pressure filtration intensifies the process of combustion wave propagation in the Cr– N2 system. Here, the combustion rate increases while the degree of nitridation decreases. We discovered superadiabatic heating modes when the reaction zone was blown with pure nitrogen and a nitrogen-argon mixture. The tempering mode that was realized during pressure filtration allows for the uptake of high-temperature single-phase non-stoichiometric phases of Cr2N. Keywords: Chromium nitride; ferrochromium nitride; synthesis by combustion; nitrogen- containing steels; nitrided master alloys; filtration combustion 1. Introduction Alloying with nitrogen is a technique used in modern metallurgy to improve the properties of many grades of steel [1]. The content of nitrogen required by specifications for such steels may vary in the range from 0.0001% to 1% N. Good examples of modern steels where nitrogen is an indispensable component, are transformer steels (~0.01% N), rail steels (~0.012% N), high-strength low-alloy steels (~0.015% N), high-alloy steels for retaining rings in generators (0.4–0.9% N), valve steels for engines (0.3–0.6% N), high-strength stainless steels with reduced nickel content (0.08–0.45% N), etc. Currently, the most well-established steels are austenitic stainless steels with Cr-Mn and Cr- Mn-Ni bases [2]. Such nitrogen-containing steels are used in the construction, automotive, chemical and food industries; for example, they are used in making car parts, household appliances, and kitchenware. New ways of developing new grades of nitrogen-containing steels are actively searched for. In fact, solely alloying by nitrogen can simultaneously provide for the improved strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance of a metal. The Earth’s atmosphere is the only available and virtually infinite natural source of nitrogen. Nitrogen is produced by air enrichment at cryogenic temperatures. This technology is a very mature and economically efficient process that is used at a large industrial scale. When nitrogen is introduced into steel, it is uptaken by different alloys. To produce stainless nitrogen-containing steels, chromium nitrides or ferrochrome nitrides are used [3]. Here, liquid metal is treated with nitrogen thus producing highly dense molten alloys. The maximum amount of nitrogen that can be achieved for Metals 2019, 9, 98; doi:10.3390/met9010098 www.mdpi.com/journal/metals Metals 2019, 9, 98 2 of 14 ingots of such master alloys is determined by its solubility in specific alloy treatment modes. Virtually 100% uptake of nitrogen is an advantage of molten master alloys. Currently, molten master alloys are found to have limited use due to the low content of nitrogen. Sintered nitrogen-containing master alloys are obtained by high-temperature treatment of powder-like alloys in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere at temperatures below the melting temperature of the initial alloys and products [4]. In such master alloys, the maximum content of nitrogen is determined by its content in the higher nitride of the nitrided metal. Sintered materials have high porosity, they are brittle, they can be easily ground, and they are suitable for being used as a filler for flux-cored wires. The main advantage of steel nitridation with different alloying additives is its versatility. Such master alloys can be used in steelmaking with all types of steel-melting devices at metallurgical plants with different equipment capabilities. Using alloys containing nitrogen, we can produce the entire range of steels: From those that are micro-alloyed by nitrogen to those with maximum nitrogen content [5]. To our knowledge, the first study of the influence of nitrogen on alloys of the chromium-iron system was undertaken by Frank Adcock in 1926, as mentioned in the article [6]. Adcock studied nitrogen dissolution in iron-chromium alloys containing 0.21–58.5% Cr and pure metallic chromium. The research demonstrated that nitrogen improved the hardness of Cr-Fe alloys and had a positive impact on their structure. For the purpose of smelting stainless steel and chromium steels of other grades, nitrided Fe-Cr is normally used [7]. In the production of Cr-Ni superalloys and alloys based on nickel, nitrided Cr (chromium nitride) is used. Chromium nitride is recommended for use in the smelting of high- nitrogen steels that are characterized by low content of carbon and other additives. Powders of Cr and its compositions can be used as initial materials for nitridation. Gaseous nitrogen or ammonia can be the source of nitrogen. The only economically viable option for the industrial production of nitrided Cr and its alloys is the technology of Cr powder treatment in vacuum furnaces. Molten nitrogen-containing master alloys of chromium are produced by the treatment of liquid chromium alloys with nitrogen, and sintered master alloys are produced by the treatment of solid alloys. The maximum amount of nitrogen that can be uptaken in molten master alloys is determined by its solubility under the treatment conditions, and for sintered master alloys, this amount is determined by the content of nitrogen in CrN. In theory, when nitriding high-purity chromium powder, nitride with ~21.2% N could be obtained, and for ferrochromium with 70% of Cr, 15.8% N could be possible. In practice, these values can hardly be achieved, especially in large-scale production [8]. The resulting nitrogen content is influenced by impurities, limited treatment times, evaporation and contact melting processes, etc. In this research, we study the process of furnaceless synthesis of chromium and ferrochromium nitrides in the filtration combustion mode, where the nitrides are to be used as master alloys for stainless steels and alloys. 2. Methodology of the Experiment Cr powder produced by JSC POLEMA (Tula, Russia) was used in this research; the powder was obtained by means of calcium hydride reduction. Additionally, Cr and Fe-Cr powders produced via the aluminothermic process by the Kluchevskiy Ferroalloys Plant (624013, Dvurechensk, Russia) were used (see Table 1). Table 1.

The content of nitrogen was determined on a TS-600 analyzer (LECO Corporation, St. Joseph, MI, USA). The phase composition of combustion products was determined on an XRD-600 X-ray diffractometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). Cr and Fe-Cr were nitrided via two methods. The first method envisaged, was synthesis on a laboratory high-pressure SHS reactor (Figure 1) in the mode: Natural nitrogen filtration. The second method envisaged, was synthesis on a laboratory flow-type SHS reactor (Figure 2) in the mode: Forced filtration of nitrogen. Natural filtration occurs spontaneously due to the pressure differential resulting from the consumption of gas in the combustion front. If the gaseous reactant (nitrogen) is forced through with a given flow rate through a porous sample, then this is forced filtration. In this case, the side surfaces of porous samples are gas-tight and nitrogen is supplied only through the ends of the sample [9]. For the synthesis in the high-pressure reactor, a batch of Cr or Fe-Cr powder was placed in a gas-permeable container (metal mesh), and a thermocouple (Tungsten Rhenium W-Re, 5/20 wire) was inserted into the bottom part of the container (Figure 3). From the top side, a tungsten coil heating element was brought into contact with the powder. The sample was placed into the unit, and the unit was then vacuumized and filled with nitrogen, having a purity of 99.9%, until the pressure reached 0.2–10 MPa. The interaction of the powder with the nitrogen was initiated by applying an electric pulse into the tungsten coil. Then, a combustion wave was formed by the exothermic reaction, which yielded Cr2N and CrN; and the combustion wave spread along the sample in a lengthwise direction. Figure 1.

Shen and N. Wang. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The effect of nitrogen pressure on the structure of Ta-N, Cr-N, Mo-N, and W-N nanocrystals formed in arc discharge process was investigated. At the nitrogen pressure of 5 ∼ 20 kPa, the pure cubic-phase TaN and CrN nanocrystals were formed, whereas pure cubic phase of Mo2N and W2N cannot be obtained. A little of metal Mo and a mass of metal W were mixed with the products of Mo2N and W2N, respectively. At the nitrogen pressure of 30 ∼ 50 kPa, subnitride Ta2NandCr2N and metal Cr were gradually formed in the product; furthermore, the proportion of metal Mo and W increased in the product of Mo2N and W2N, respectively. It indicated that the low nitrogen pressure makes cubic mononitride formation favorable. We explain this experimental observation in terms of the evaporation rate of anode metal and the ionization of nitrogen.

Received: 12 June 2019; Accepted: 2 July 2019; Published: 5 July 2019 Abstract: Austenitic 316L stainless steel has been the most widely acceptable biomaterial for producing implants. The downside of this material includes the leaching of nickel ions from the matrix that limits its’ usage in implant manufacturing. In this research, production of stainless steel alloy modified with boron and titanium is investigated. The sintering of the alloy systems is carried out in nitrogen atmosphere for a dwell time of 8 h. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that dwell time and alloy composition leads to the formation of strong nitrides and borides.
